Re: SHWW Group
Hey fellas.... FWIW, got to shoot with some great guys yesterday, out in my vision of paradise... areas unknown on the dry side...
Anyway, watched the guy who invited me, put a couple of 750gr rounds on 3' balloons at 2,300yds! Two balloons - third shot each! Man the flight time at that range is crazy... I was spotting, and every time, just before impact, I was about to say "Don't know man.... didn't see it...." then... POP. Fricken' great!
Saw a guy put a 6.5mm round on a 13" plate at 1,200yds - OUT OF A BOLT ACTION PISTOL!
Got to take my licks at a Mile with my 300wm... actually 1,866yds (had to have that extra 100yds to clear the tree line we were shooting over)... Never got a damn hit, but sure did scare the piss out of that steel plate.... In my defense, it WAS a 10"H x 17"W plate.... not exactly a large target.... in heavy mirage... and MULTIPLE wind currents... and... well... I can't come up with any other excuses!
But let me tell you... Impacts are smaaaaaaaaaaall, and rather uneventful at that range.
Coolest personal feat of the day... showed up late - went about 20 miles down unmaintained dirt roads - to a LOCKED gate, about 3-4 miles from my destination
Turned around and went round about another 1.5 hrs to get to the spot! Said hello... got the lay of the land, laid out my gear... Got my zen on... put first round of the day on a the 13" plate at 1,200yds - about a .7 mil wind read... I was real tempted at that point, to pack-up my crap, and head home
Hopefully some of those guys I met yesterday, jump in here, with our little group.
